2016 Australia Post : Superman Stamp Pack
Australia Post issued a stamp pack featuring 24 collectible
Superman tabs on March 15, 2016. Each pack includes sixteen $1 AUD
postage stamps. The
Superman tabs are not valid for postage.
The Australia map stamp was originally issued on January 25, 2016, as
part of the Love to Celebrate series (Scott Australia #4522).
The stamp was designed by Sierra Delta in Burnley, Victoria.
The stamp pack cover is an edited image of Action Comics #419 (December 1972). The cover was penciled by Neal Adams and inked by Murphy Anderson. The photograph composite and coloring was done by Jack Adler.
Both sheetlets contain twelve Superman tabs, each measuring 26 x 37.5 mm.
Twelve tabs reprint Superman comic book covers published from 1938–2001. The
Superman character illustrations are from the 1982
DC Comics Style Guide. The Superman figures were penciled by José Luis
García-López and inked by Dick Giordano.
